Autism spectrum disorders in adolescents and adults : evidence-based and promising interventions / by Tincani, Matt,editor.; Bondy, Andy,editor.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."We've edited this collection of chapters on evidence-based and promising practices for adults with ASD. During the past 25 years or so there has been a concomitant increase in research and publications regarding the identification, assessment, and education of these children. This heavy focus of on children is understandable given the promise of early identification and intervention. However, there remains a paucity of research and guidelines that focus on the issues that face adults with ASD. We asked a number of the leading researchers to write chapters on critical issues related to the well-being of adults with ASD. Each set of authors was asked to review the current literature associated with a wide array of topics. In addition to reviewing key research, each chapter provides some examples of how specific features and strategies may influence a hypothetical case in terms of practical decision making"--

Ginny Moon [sound recording] / by Ludwig, Benjamin,1974-author.(CARDINAL)615924; Eldridge, Em,narrator.(CARDINAL)347173; Harlequin Audio (Firm)(CARDINAL)349230;
Read by Em Eldridge.Meet Ginny Moon. She's mostly an average teenager, she plays flute in the school band, has weekly basketball practice, and reads Robert Frost poems for English class. But Ginny is autistic. And so what's important to her might seem a bit different: starting every day with exactly nine grapes for breakfast, Michael Jackson, taking care of her baby doll, and crafting a big secret plan of escape. Ginny has been in foster care for years, and for the first time in her life, she has found her 'forever home', a place where she'll be safe and protected, with a family who will love and nurture her. Though this is exactly the kind of home that all foster kids are hoping for, Ginny has other plans. She'll steal and lie and reach across her past to exploit the good intentions of those who love her, anything it takes to get back what's missing in her life. She'll even try to get herself kidnapped.
