PUBLISHERS ON AUTISM TOPICS

Jessica Kingsley Publishers http://www.jkp.com/

This publisher of professional and academic books in the social and behavioural sciences plans over 100 new books in 2000, and welcomes comments and suggestions for new titles. Among the categories of interest to autism are:

Arts therapies
Disabilities and special needs
Psychiatry and psychotherapy
Social work

Future Horizons of Arlington Texas http://www.futurehorizons-autism.com/

President, R. Wayne Gilpin, describes Future Horizons as the world leader in autism/Asperger's Syndrome publishing. He explains how the enterprise began when his son Alex was diagnosed with high-functioning autism. Impressed with Alex's humor and "unique perspectives," he first wrote and published "Laughing and Loving with Autism." The response led to a demand for books about autism. "We do not cater to any one philosophy, rather we offer many ideas for the parent or caregiver to choose for themselves. ...You will never see a book from us that does not offer an absolute belief in improvement, because all of our challenged children and adults can move forward. On the other hand, you will never see one that offers false hope."

Dist. by Behavioral Sciences Media Laboratory, UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute & Hospital, 760 Westwood Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90024), video $250.00; $40.00 rental. Reviewed in 1988sep CHOICE:
“An excellent introduction to autism through use of a case study. The subject, Joseph Sullivan, demonstrates clinical characteristics that are then examined and explained to the viewer. His development is also contrasted with that of his nonautistic brother. Because Joseph was also the subject of a film on autism when he was in the preschool and elementary years, Infantile Autism: Invisible Wall (1968), flashbacks of that film are included for comparison and contrast. Interviews with his parents, his social companion, a family that has befriended him, one high school teacher, and a current employer complement didactic interviews with experts on autism from UCLA. The experts review and analyze various etiological theories such as social, cognitive, and deficit. This video differs from most others on autism in that the subject has been raised at home and has graduated from public school, and his parents are able to afford a social companion. The video is well organized and well edited; sound and visuals are excellent. Suitable for self-help groups dealing with autism, teachers, general audiences, high school students, and undergraduates.” --- A. L. Dailey, Community College of Allegheny County
