An Inspired Masterpiece! Nov 14, 2004
By Mindscape Productions LLC WOW! The audio CD "Living in the Spectrum: Autism and Asperger's" is an inspired masterpiece! A finer multi-media production exploring and explaining autism and Asperger Syndrome is, to my knowledge, simply not available. This is one powerful production. It is obvious that careful attention went into the making of this CD. The quality of the production is truly admirable. The wealth of information and insight is well worth hearing. Do the wise thing and add "Living in the Spectrum" to your ASD Library. It really is a gem that you will want to listen to many times over and then share with others. Liane Holliday Willey, Ed.D. Senior Editor of "Autism Spectrum Quarterly" magazine www.ASQuarterly.com
Receiving the news of autism can be a heart-wrenching experience. Parents need accurate, factual information about the difficulties experienced by children with autism spectrum disorders. Equally important is maintaining a sense of hope in the face of this diagnosis. "Living In the Spectrum" helps parents balance a realistic understanding of their child's limitations with the optimism necessary to help their children reach maximum potential. Ruth M. Anan, Ph.D., B.C.B.A William Beaumont Hospital Center for Human Development, Berkley, Michigan
This audio CD provides a clear description of Asperger syndrome and the differences between this disorder and Autism. The interviews with those on the spectrum, their family members and professionals also provide a great deal of insight into this disorder. Great Job! Stephen Edelson, Ph.D Center for the Study of Autism Salem, Oregon
What a fabulous resource you have put together! As a parent of a child with autism, I sure wish I would have had this available ten years ago when we first received the gut wrenching diagnosis for my son. I absolutely adore the soft words you share from those with autism encompassing both ends of the autism spectrum. Your ability to weave all aspects of autism from the questions many of us share including medical insights is a true gift to any new parent. I will do whatever I can to share this new resource with as many new parents and professionals as I can. Karen Simmons CEO & Founder of "Autism Today" Author, "Little Rainman"
This is an absolutely wonderful production! It's high time that we portray individuals with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorders) as the brilliant, creative people that they are! This is a real gem of a CD and one of the best introductions to Autism ever! Anne Carpenter - woman with Autism Librarian - Autism Society of Michigan
Wow! If you have a child with autism or Asperger syndrome, put this CD into the hands of their teacher. In the space of 1 hour it will have them perceiving your child in a whole new light. It offers a powerful combination of experts and first person stories that is both touching and eye opening without feeling overwhelming. An excellent introduction to the Autistic Spectrum. Lisa Simmons - Advocate www.ideallives.com
While listening to this I found myself going through a myriad of emotions as each person that spoke moved me immensely. I felt like crying, laughing, and nodding my head in agreement with the parents, professionals that spoke. As a parent of a child with AS, who is my inspiration for all I do, I highly recommend every parent, teacher, professional to get a copy of this educational and inspirational CD on ASD. Living In the Spectrum: "Autism & Asperger's" is a valuable and necessary tool to better understand ASD! Monica Moshenko Host, DisABILITY News & Views Radio Show www.disabilitynewsradio.com
Refreshing and inspiring even to those of us who've been living with autism for a long time. This positive approach left me with renewed hope that someday autism might be viewed less often as a disability and more often as human diversity. Great Job! Thanks! Suzanne Rossi - Parent
This CD is such a breath of fresh air because it adds a new dimension to the total picture where "doom and gloom" is often the first emotion parents feel when their child has received a diagnosis of autism. The poetry, the music, and the insights by researchers, parents, and persons with autism all offer accurate information, but more importantly they present the gifts and strengths that may also be present along the spectrum. This CD will be instrumental in helping young parents chart a course toward greater social interaction for their children and greater peace and a sense of fulfillment for themselves. Laurence A. Becker, Ph.D Creative Learning Environments - Austin, Texas
A wonderful "tribute" to those that are in the spectrum! This CD is a much needed source of information, as well as encouragement for those in the Autism spectrum and their family and friends. Informative, compassionate and very accurate thanks to the testimonials from medical and legal professionals and from individuals within the autistic spectrum. It gives reassurance to those that are involved with these individuals that all is not lost nor are they alone in their concern and confusion. You even touch on the legal aspects relative to education which gives parents "food for thought" when working with the schools. Jackie Edgerton - Teacher
The CD is very insightful into the life of Autism and Asperger's. It would be a great introduction to people who have little knowledge and a lot of apprehension about interacting with Autism spectrum individuals. Linda Tyner Special Ed Paraprofessional
