Autism - Uta Frith
What causes autism? Is it a genetic disorder, or due to some unknown environmental hazard? Are we facing an autism epidemic? What are the main symptoms, and how does it relate to Asperger syndrome? Everyone has heard of autism, but the disorder itself is little understood. It has captured the public imagination through films and novels portraying individuals with baffling combinations of disability and extraordinary talent, and yet the reality is more often that it places a heavy burden on sufferers and their families.This Very Short Introduction offers a clear statement on what is currently known about autism and Asperger syndrome. Explaining the vast array of different conditions that hide behind these two labels, and looking at symptoms from the full spectrum of autistic disorders, it explores the possible causes for the apparent rise in autism and also evaluates the links with neuroscience, psychology, brain development, genetics, and environmental causes including MMR and Thimerosal. This short, authoritative, and accessible book also explores the psychology behind social impairment and savantism, and throughout, sheds light on what it is like to live inside the mind of the sufferer.

The Lost Girls of Autism - Gina Rippon
''A truly fascinating must-read'' – Elinor Cleghorn, bestselling author of Unwell Women''Powerful and well-researched. The Lost Girls of Autism shines a much-needed spotlight on a critical issue'' – Dr Maureen Dunne, author of The Neurodiversity EdgeThe history of autism is male. It is time for women and girls to enter the spotlight.When autistic girls meet clinicians, they are often misdiagnosed with anxiety, depression, personality disorders – or receive no diagnosis at all. Autism’s ‘male spotlight’ means we are only now starting to redress this profound injustice.In The Lost Girls of Autism, renowned brain scientist Gina Rippon delves into the emerging science of female autism, asking why it has been systematically ignored for so long. Generations of researchers, convinced autism was a male problem, simply didn’t bother looking for it in women. But it is now becoming increasingly clear that many autistic women and girls do not fit the traditional, male, model of autism. Instead, they camouflage and mask, hiding their autistic traits to accommodate a society that shuns them.Urgent and insightful, this is a searching examination of how sexism has biased our understanding of autism.

Uta z Naumburgu - Zdeněk Urbánek - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Ve své pozoruhodné rozhlasové hře z roku 1970 Uta z Naumburgu vypráví Zdeněk Urbánek příběh středověké šlechtičny, která se rozhodne neochvějnou vlídností čelit nepodloženým pomluvám svého okolí. S Jaroslavou Tvrzníkovou a Janem Třískou v hlavních rolích.Rozhlasová hra překladatele, prozaika a esejisty Zdeňka Urbánka však překvapivě začíná v roce 1918 na konci první světové války, kdy zástupci vítězné Francie přicházejí do Německa, aby si náhradou za zničenou sochařskou výzdobu katedrály v Remeši, vybrali sochy německých středověkých mistrů. Uta z Naumburgu tak znovu, téměř 800 let po své smrti, probouzí vášně a svou mlčenlivou krásou vzdoruje úzkoprsé tuposti a barbarství, ze kterých se lidstvo zřejmě definitivně nevyléčí nikdy.V režii Josefa Červinky účinkují Jaroslava Tvrzníková, Jan Tříska, Jiří Adamíra, Soběslav Sejk, Josef Chvalina, Jiří Holý a další. Hudbu složil a na varhany nahrál Petr Eben.

Co vám chce říct vaše dítě s autismem - Maja Toudal
"Malé děti s autismem mívají velké problémy s popisováním svých myšlenek, pocitů a zážitků. Vnímají, přemýšlí, učí se a komunikují jiným způsobem a členové rodiny i učitelé musí zjistit, jak s rozdíly nakládat. Časem si dítě může osvojit, jak vyjádřit věci, které by ostatní měli vědět. Mnoho už ale známe díky dospělým lidem s autismem, jako je Maja Toudalová." (z předmluvy Tonyho Attwooda) Maja Toudalová na základě vlastních zkušeností, rozhovorů s dalšími lidmi s autismem i s předními odborníky na poruchy autistického spektra pojmenovává a jasně vysvětluje mnoho aspektů autismu. Zkoumá řadu běžných problémů, kterým může dítě nebo dospívající s autismem čelit v různých (společenských) situacích. Ať se jedná o společné stolování v rodině, kamarádské vztahy, zvládání šikany a tlaku vrstevníků ve škole i na sociálních sítích, předcházení a zvládání záchvatů (meltdown) nebo obyčejné situace, jako je třeba nakupování bot a oblečení. Maja předkládá řadu zajímavých a poutavých rad o tom, co dítě nebo dospívající s autismem potřebuje a proč. Kniha se tak může stát pro rodiče a učitele neocenitelným pomocníkem a základním průvodcem rodičovstvím a světem dětí s PAS.

In fact, sundae glasses are a bit like people - we''re all different. Because we all have different personalities, autism doesn''t look the same in everybody.This picture-led book uses ice-cream sundae ingredients to represent various aspects of autism such as sensory differences, special interests or rigidity of thinking, explaining the different facets of autism in a neutral way. The reader can create their own individual ''ice-cream sundae'' to illustrate their personal strengths and challenges, highlighting how it makes them unique and helping to build confidence and self-awareness. It includes colourful illustrations and workbook activities to help children cement their understanding of autism.

Autism and the Empathy Epidemic - Janet Harbord
Threading an enquiry through debates in neurodiversity scholarship and disability studies as well as film theory, this open access book challenges the widespread idea that autism is an epidemic characterised predominantly by a deficit of empathy, arguing that the reverse is true: we are living through an empathy epidemic in which autism is the outcast. In 1908, the British psychologist, Edward Titchener, translated the German term Einfühlung into the English language as ‘empathy’, around the same time that Eugen Bleuler coined the term ‘autism’ for a group of symptoms subset to an emerging classification of schizophrenia. Empathy became a useful tool to describe relations between people in a clinical context, but in the process of its incorporation into psychology, it shed its rich sensory meaning from Einfühlung as ‘feeling-into’ weather systems, architectural forms, and artworks. A remarkable reversal takes place in the first part of the twentieth century whereby empathy becomes an intra-human ethical act, and autism emerges as its inverse. Digging up and examining the buried relation between autism with an earlier form of ‘empathy’, this book argues that autism, like cinema, models an ethical apprehension of the more-than-human world.The eBook editions of this book are available open access ...

An Emerald Guide to Creativity in Autism - Clare Lawrence
Creativity in autism extends to all areas of life - to the visual arts, to music, to dance - but our backgrounds in English and Applied Drama mean that it is a particular pleasure for us to explore autistic interaction with words. Stereotypes of autism suggest that autistic people are concrete thinkers, people who struggle to move beyond literal interpretations, and that language used by and understood by autistic people lacks flexibility and creativity. We challenge this perspective, instead suggesting that autism may bring new richness and originality to language that can provide creativity and insight. This book shares and discusses two recent projects using the written word to explore autism. The first used the shared reading of literature as a scaffold for discussion of autistic identity. The second involved creative writing by a group of autistic adults. All involved throughout were ''insider'' members of the autism community, and both projects were completed collectively.

Autism in Heels - Jennifer Cook O'Toole
Autism in Heels, an intimate memoir and Wall Street Journal bestseller, reveals the woman inside one of autismÂ’s most prominent figures, Jennifer O''Toole. At the age of thirty-five, Jennifer was diagnosed with Asperger''s syndrome, and for the first time in her life, things made sense. Jennifer exposes the constant struggle between carefully crafted persona and authentic existence, editing the autism script with wit, candor, passion, and power. Her journey is one of reverse-self-discovery not only as an Aspie but--more importantly--as a thoroughly modern woman.Beyond being a memoir, Autism in Heels is a love letter to all women. ItÂ’s a conversation starter. A game changer. And a firsthand account of what it is to walk in Jennifer''s shoes (especially those iconic red stilettos).Whether it''s bad perms or body image, sexuality or self-esteem, Jennifer''s is as much a human journey as one on the spectrum. Because autism "looks a bit different in pink," most girls and women who fit the profile are not identified, facing years of avoidable anxiety, eating disorders, volatile relationships, self-harm, and stunted independence. Jennifer has been there, too. Autism in Heels takes that message to the mainstream.From her own struggles and self-discovery, she has built an empire of ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Autism and The Predictive Brain - Peter Vermeulen
What if our previous teachings and beliefs regarding processing stimuli, reading emotions and understanding human behaviour is all untrue? In this book, Peter Vermeulen investigates new findings on the predictive brain and what these insights mean for autism and current interventions. Recent research has shown that the classic ideas about how the human brain first needs to process incoming information about the world before it can react are no longer tenable. Rather, to survive in the volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environment of modern society, what we need is a brain that predicts the world quickly and unconsciously, while taking proper account of the context. This book explains the new theories relating to the predictive brain, summarising some of the more recent highly technical research studies about the predictive mind and autism into as accessible and understandable language as possible. Shedding new light on the predictive brain and its relation to autism, the chapters lead readers to the inevitable conclusion that many of the current interventions used in connection with autism urgently need updating and outline possibilities for revising. This approachable book synthesises advanced research for professionals across disciplines working with people with autism spectrum disorder along with readers who ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Students with Autism: How to improve language, literacy and academic success - Katharine Beals
Beals describes the root causes of the language and learning challenges in autism, their various academic consequences, and a variety of tools and strategies for addressing them. Drawing on what the most current evidence shows about the nature of autism and which therapies are most successful, the book discusses the implications for autism-friendly instruction in academic subjects, noting the ways in which today''s classrooms come up short, and suggesting various adjustments that teachers can make.Instead of focusing on social and behavioral issues, general accommodations, and general ways to address learning difficulties, Beals zeros in on academics, on accommodations within specific academic subjects, and on techniques that target autism-specific deficits, situating the issue of educational access within the broader context of disability rights, neurodiversity, and debates about what disability rights and neurodiversity should encompass.Complete acceptance of individuals on the autism spectrum must include complete educational access. This means rethinking assumptions about autistic students, about how we teach expressive language, about how we teach reading comprehension, and about what and how we teach in the many K-12 classrooms attended by autistic students.

Love in the Age of Autism - Jonathan Rose, Gayle DeLong, Jennifer Rose
Gayle DeLong was a well-known activist in the autism community, the ‘Warrior Mom’ of two autistic daughters. She worked closely with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on vaccine injury issues. This book is a record (based largely on her diaries) of her happy marriage to Jonathan Rose. Love in the Age of Autism does not sugarcoat the stresses and heartbreak of raising autistic children: it is more honest about that than most other books on the subject. But it is also an inspiring love story, which can help autism parents find profound joys in spite of all the pains. It offers practical advice and models for sharing the burdens and pleasures of life, based on a strong sense of family values. This book frankly (and with an earthy sense of humour) illustrates how autism parents can continue to enjoy passionate, monogamous physical love – and it explains how to provide sex education for autistic girls. The tale that Gayle and Jonathan tell is intensely romantic and life-affirming.

Autism Is Not A Disease - Hare Jodie
Neurodiversity is one of the most urgent political issues of our time. As the number of diagnoses of autism, ADHD, and other types of neurodivergence rises, we are starting to understand that there is no such thing as a 'normal' brain. But society is still organised around neuronormativity, and autism is treated as a disease.Jodie Hare, diagnosed with autism at twenty-three, argues it is time to redefine the politics of who we are. She calls for the recognition of diversity as part of natural variation, rather than a departure from sameness. This will have an impact on the places where we learn, work, and socialise - and Hare shows how these can be adapted to be more inclusive and accessible. She shows how we might commit to building a world where we can all thrive, one that works to combat discrimination based on race, class, gender, and disability.

Drawing on interdisciplinary research from fields as diverse as psychology, philosophy, anthropology, linguistics, neuroscience and religion, as well as first-hand experiences of people on the spectrum, she shows how people with ASD experience their inner worlds and sense of self, and how this shapes the spiritual dimension of their lives and vice versa. She presents a coherent framework for understanding the routes of spiritual development and ''spiritual giftedness'' within this group, offering insights that will inform understanding of how to support and nurture spiritual wellbeing in people with ASDs. This book gives a voice to both verbal and non-verbal individuals on the autism spectrum whose spiritual experiences, though often unconventional, are meaningful and profound. It is essential reading for all those interested in the spiritual wellbeing of this group, including pastoral carers and counsellors, ministers of religion, spiritual leaders, parents and carers and individuals on the autism spectrum.
