Dr. Mary Lynch Barbera Verbal Behavior Approach
The Verbal Behavior (VB) approach is a form of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), that is based on B.F. Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior and works particularly well with children with minimal or no speech abilities. In this book Mary Lynch Barbera draws on her own experiences as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and also as a parent of a child with autism to explain VB and how to use it. This step-by-step guide provides an abundance of information about how to help children develop better language and speaking skills, and also explains how to teach non-vocal children to use sign language.

Philip Wylie Very Late Diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome
How Seeking a Diagnosis in Adulthood Can Change Your Life. Philip Wylie sought a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome at the age of 51 after reading an article about autism in an accountancy magazine and having a "Eureka" moment! This book discusses the process, the pros and cons, and the after-effects of receiving an autism diagnosis in adulthood. Outlining the likely stages of the journey to diagnosis, this book looks at what the individual may go through as they become aware of their Asperger characteristics and as they seek pre-assessment and diagnosis, as well as common reactions upon receiving a diagnosis - from depression and anger to relief and self-acceptance. Combining practical guidance with advice from personal experience and interviews and correspondence with specialists, the book discusses if, who to, and when to disclose, how to seek appropriate support services, and how to use the self-knowledge gained through diagnosis to live well in the future.

Temple Grandin Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions
With her genius for demystifying science, Temple Grandin draws on cutting-edge research to take us inside visual thinking. Visual thinkers constitute a far greater proportion of the population than previously believed and a more varied one, from photo-realistic object visualizers like Grandin, with an intuitive knack for design and problem solving, to abstract, mathematically inclined visual spatial thinkers who excel in pattern recognition and systemic thinking. She helps us understand how a world geared to the verbal tends to sideline visual thinkers, screening them out at school and passing over them in the workplace. Rather than continuing to waste their singular gifts, driving a collective loss in productivity and innovation, she proposes new approaches to educating, parenting, employing, and collaborating with visual thinkers.

Eric Garcia We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation
Eric Garcia began writing about autism because he was frustrated by the media's coverage of it; the myths that the disorder is caused by vaccines, the narrow portrayals of autistic people as white men working in Silicon Valley. In this book, he uses his own life as a springboard to discuss the social and policy gaps that exist in supporting those on the spectrum. From education to healthcare, he explores how autistic people wrestle with systems that were not built with them in mind. At the same time, he shares the experiences of many types of autistic people, from those with higher support needs, to autistic people of color, to those in the LGBTQ community. In doing so, Eric Garcia gives his community a platform to articulate their own needs, rather than having others speak for them, which has been the standard for far too long.
