As part of our building background knowledge, we will view these videos together on the first day of class or in between classes Paula Kluth video media type="youtube" key="2n61ZKKe2zk" width="425" height="350" Temple Grandin video media type="youtube" key="fn_9f5x0f1Q" width="425" height="350"

This is the introduction film from The Autism Acceptance Project media type="youtube" key="IAlwX5P7gSQ" width="425" height="350"

The only way I can upload the video from my talk with my daughter's class is to first upload it to YouTube. Since, sporadically, students in the class are on the video, I am not comfortable putting it on such a public forum. HOWEVER, if you bring your snazzy flash drives to our next class, I will happily load it on your drive!

Here are a few You Tube Videos that I have found helpful as I try to understand students with Autism: Beth Hendricks Carly Fleischmann is an amazing young woman with severe autism.

Children with Aspergers syndrome talk about their syndrome []

When I have been trying to understand things from the perspective of the student with Aspergers or Autism, I have found it helpful to go to youtube and hear from adults that are reflecting back on their school years and talking about how they cope. 2 that I found interesting and helpful were from the author cycleofsilence attached is one of his series of videos:[|cylce of silence aspergers]

Another man with Asperger's (I believe from Sweden), has a series of videos. I got the idea of sunglasses and a baseball cap to help students 'survive' bussing. I find him kind of humorous and have gotten some insight watching his videos. This might not be for everyone, but I've found it helpful. He calls himself InjuredMinds and has quite a collection of videos. [|Injured MInds]

With the help of beautifully crafted animation, Rosie introduces other children who have the condition: Tony, who gets totally obsessed with things but struggles to make friends, Ben, who has suffered from terrible bullying, and Rosie's own little brother Lenny, who turns the house upside-down daily to try and make sense of things.
