NOTE: Please be aware that this page is not a complete listing of resources. These selections were made with the HF child in mind, although much of the
material is for all children on the spectrum. Materials address issues unique to children that are high functioning, such as therapy options that address
high level social issues. Specifics utilizing ABA treatment for Theory Of Mind, Executive Functioning, and Abstract Thinking. Note: Biomedical
intervention info is located towards the end of this page. It's just as important to assess as therapeutic intervention.

| Behavioral Intervention The medical and parent communities, schools and govt., and early intervention programs all agree that behavioral intervention is vital. Early Intensive Intervention is the key to maximizing the outcome of an ASD child. Indeed, what this early intensive intervention entails comes down to economics and resources. Behavioral intervention is a huge category. This doesn't only mean ABA. Other viable options include Pivotal Response Training , VBA, and RDI. It's critical to choose the most experienced team rather than the brand. According to research, ABA is the most viable option we have today.

(Explanation for root of Autism)
Autism: Explaining the Enigma (Cognitive Development) by Uta Frith This clinical book provides an explanation for the root of
autism. Parents that understand the core deficits of ASD will increase parents' understanding of the effects that we all know too
well - speech, communication, social, and sensory deficits among others. Parents can make better choices for treatment.
Simon Baron-Cohen worked with Uta Frith and went on to create groundbreaking work in this area. Because of them, my son
now leads a typical life.

(Psychology behind Mindreading)
Mindblindness: An Essay on Autism and Theory of Mind By: Simon Baron-Cohen
Simon Baron-Cohen argues that we mindread all the time, effortlessly, automatically, and mostly
unconsciously. It is the natural way in which we interpret, predict, and participate in social behavior
and communication. We ascribe mental states to people: states such as thoughts, desires,
knowledge, and intentions. Building on many years of research, Baron-Cohen concludes that
children with autism, suffer from "mindblindness" as a result of a selective impairment in mindreading.

Teaching Children With Autism to Mind-Read : A Practical Guide for Teachers and Parents By: Patricia Howlin,
Simon-Baron-Cohen
The difficulties experienced by children with autism and related conditions in inferring the thoughts, beliefs,
desires and intentions of others are well documented in numerous studies. It now seems that these deficits
underlie many of the social and communication problems that are characteristic of autism. Teaching Children
with Autism to Mind-Read explores the relationship of "theory of mind" deficits to other areas of children's
functioning and describes existing experimental work that has attempted to enhance the skills associated with
understanding others' minds. The authors provide practical guidelines for helping children with autism
spectrum conditions to improve their understanding of beliefs, emotions and pretence. The authors tackle
specific problematic issues including:
* how to interpret facial expressions
* how to recognise feelings of anger, sadness, fear and happiness
* how feelings are affected by what happens and what is expected to happen
* how to see things from another person's perspective
* how to understand another person's knowledge and beliefs
This easy-to-follow graded teaching guide is of particular relevance to special needs teachers, educational and
clinical psychologists, speech and language therapists, and carers of children with autism spectrum conditions.

A Real Boy: A True Story of Autism, Early Intervention, and Recovery by Christina Adams May'05. This book describes what
happens most of the time with ASD, regardless if the child recovers, makes little progress, or makes dramatic progress. And
what happens? Parents utilize biomedical and intensive one-to-one therapies from several philosophies/training. More
importantly, Christina demonstrates how every kid is different and maximizes her son's potential by leaving no stone unturned.
Her child's therapy consisted of a unique blend of ABA and the popular "diet" among others. Most people are not pure
Republicans or Democrats, but a blend of both. And like politics, what works for all kids is a program designed specifically for
that child, and more often than not it's a blend. A wonderful example of utilizing Theory Of Mind.

regarding this exponentially large category of intervention to the pros. Look up their individual sites. Keep in mind that all ASD kids
deserve their own 'special blend" of intervention based on countless factors such as current level of functioning, overall presentation,
past outcomes, current program, age, predisposition, behaviors, allergies -brain and traditional, tone, and financial, just to name a

Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal by Eric Schlosser. The title really doesn't do this
book justice. This book is really about the history of our food supply. Eric tells us all about the food we buy in
grocery stores, restaraunts, not just fast-food. All parents should read this in order to make informed choices.
Especially considering that one in six children born have a behavioral disorder. Do you ever wonder why wheat
and dairy is in all packaged foods? Did you ever wonder what is IN packaged foods? This book is 1/4 of this
book is research credits.
The Tipping Point a fascinating study of human behavior patterns, and shows us where the smallest things can
trigger an epidemic of change. Several examples in history are presented, where one small change in behavior
created a bigger change on a national level. He also studies the type of person or group that it takes to make
that change. Lots of information about society!
Blink explores how us humans make decisions. Snap judgments and mind reading are explored. A focus on
the meaning of "thin slices" of behavior vs "thick slicing". . The key is to rely on our "adaptive unconscious"--a
24/7 mental valet--that provides us with instant and sophisticated information to warn of danger, read a
stranger, or react to a new idea. My idol, Dr. Ami Klin of Yale is quoted!
Evidence Of Harm: Research that correlates a subset of ASD to mercury in vaccines.
The Omnivore's Dilemma
Michael Pollan writes about how our food is grown -- what it is, in fact, that we are eating. The book is really
three in one: The first section discusses industrial farming; the second, organic food, both as big business and
on a relatively small farm; and the third, what it is like to hunt and gather food for oneself. And each section
culminates in a meal -- a cheeseburger and fries from McDonald's; roast chicken, vegetables and a salad from
Whole Foods; and grilled chicken, corn and a chocolate soufflé (made with fresh eggs) from a sustainable
farm; and, finally, mushrooms and pork, foraged from the wild.

The Puzzle of Autism: Putting It All Together by Dr. Amy Yasko and Dr. Garry Gordon
Book Description (Note: To buy her book, go to holistic health.com)
A Guide to Transforming the Treatment of Autism. For Parents and Physicians. "Any parent or physician reading this book should be excited
and hopeful. This protocol has been a tremendous benefit to a number of children. It has worked for children of all ages, and no, this protocol
does not require that your child be less than five years old. Individuals up to 30 years of age have seen benefits from this program. However, it
is not a magic bullet. For most children there is no magic bullet. It is a matter of perseverance, and slowly working your way through the
program to gradually reverse the layers of damage, and put all of the complex pieces back together and in working order. Yes, it can be done,
and it has been done. There are always the "quick fix" kids. The ones that only need a few supplements or just the first phase of the
detoxification program to be on their way to recovery. We all hear about those cases, and it seems like everyone except YOUR child falls into
that category. The reality is that most children do not fall into the quick fix category. But there is hope for every child. So, take a deep breath,
get ready for the marathon, pace yourself, but above all else don't give up on your children."
The China Study: Referred to as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" by The New York Times, this study
examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500
counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart
disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing
and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the
current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The politics of nutrition
and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and dissemination of public information are also
discussed.

the meaning of "thin slices" of behavior vs "thick slicing". . The key is to rely on our "adaptive unconscious"--a
24/7 mental valet--that provides us with instant and sophisticated information to warn of danger, read a
stranger, or react to a new idea. My idol, Dr. Ami Klin of Yale is quoted!
Evidence Of Harm: Research that correlates a subset of ASD to mercury in vaccines.
The Omnivore's Dilemma
Michael Pollan writes about how our food is grown -- what it is, in fact, that we are eating. The book is really
three in one: The first section discusses industrial farming; the second, organic food, both as big business and
on a relatively small farm; and the third, what it is like to hunt and gather food for oneself. And each section
culminates in a meal -- a cheeseburger and fries from McDonald's; roast chicken, vegetables and a salad from
Whole Foods; and grilled chicken, corn and a chocolate soufflé (made with fresh eggs) from a sustainable
farm; and, finally, mushrooms and pork, foraged from the wild.

The Puzzle of Autism: Putting It All Together by Dr. Amy Yasko and Dr. Garry Gordon
Book Description (Note: To buy her book, go to holistic health.com)
A Guide to Transforming the Treatment of Autism. For Parents and Physicians. "Any parent or physician reading this book should be excited
and hopeful. This protocol has been a tremendous benefit to a number of children. It has worked for children of all ages, and no, this protocol
does not require that your child be less than five years old. Individuals up to 30 years of age have seen benefits from this program. However, it
is not a magic bullet. For most children there is no magic bullet. It is a matter of perseverance, and slowly working your way through the
program to gradually reverse the layers of damage, and put all of the complex pieces back together and in working order. Yes, it can be done,
and it has been done. There are always the "quick fix" kids. The ones that only need a few supplements or just the first phase of the
detoxification program to be on their way to recovery. We all hear about those cases, and it seems like everyone except YOUR child falls into
that category. The reality is that most children do not fall into the quick fix category. But there is hope for every child. So, take a deep breath,
get ready for the marathon, pace yourself, but above all else don't give up on your children."
The China Study: Referred to as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" by The New York Times, this study
examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500
counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart
disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing
and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the
current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The politics of nutrition
and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and dissemination of public information are also
discussed.
