Commercial Break
My friend and colleague, Larry Arnold has just produced a DVD about autism. You can read my endorsement at Shining City Visions.
Larry is the first autistic person to serve on the Board of Trustees of the National Autistic Society. His ideas merit wide circulation. I recommend his web site as well.
The DVD is not available on the NAS website yet. So those in a hurry can order direct from
Central Books Ltd
99 Wallis Road
London
E9 5LN
Tel: 0845 458 9911
Fax: 0845 458 9912
or bombard the NAS with emails asking why it is not on the website yet.
Email: nas@centralbooks.com
NB I have no financial interest in the success of Larry’s venture.
My Background
This blog has moved to
http://actionforautism.co.uk/
See you there!
I am Mike Stanton. I live and work in the UK where I teach children with severe learning difficulties, many of whom are autistic. My adult son is diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. I am a member of the National Autistic Society. I speak and write on autism.
My book, “Learning to Live with High Functioning Autism” is available in a Spanish translation, Convivir con el Autismo. I have also c
ontributed a chapter to Asperger Syndrome in Adolescence edited by Liane Holliday Willey.
ACTION FOR AUTISM is a reaction against names like Action Against Autism and Defeat Autism Now! Names like these suggest to autistic people that we are against them as people. You may not mean that. But if you care about autism you ought to care about the feelings of autistic people and not use language that makes them angry or upset. If you disregard the feelings of autistic people do not be surprised if you are disregarded.
