| Freaks, Geeks, and Asperger’s Syndrome |
| Have you ever been called a freak or a geek? Have you ever felt like one? Luke Jackson is 13 years old and has Asperger’s Syndrome. Adolescence and the teenage years are a minefield of emotions, transitions, and decisions. When a child has Asperger’s Syndrome, the result is often explosive. Luke is acutely aware of just how different he is and how little information is available for adolescents like him.

| Inclusive Programming for High School Students with Autism or Asperger’s Syndrome |
| Successful inclusion in high school is critical for achieving independence as an adult!
Even though inclusive education is now the standard for educating students with special needs, inclusion is a still a very new process. Successful inclusion relies on flexibility of parents and educators, and their ability to work together for the sake of the student. Training, collaboration, specialized teaching, long-term planning, and a clear idea of the desired outcome for the student—these are just as important at the high school level as they were in elementary and middle school. |

| Inclusive Programming for Middle School Students with Autism or Asperger’s Syndrome |
| Middle school presents unique challenges to those with autism / Asperger’s, but it can also be exciting and rewarding. Inclusive Programming addresses transitioning to and from middle school, and everything in between: hormones, cliques, bullying, aggression, and “fitting in.” The ingredients for success are pre-planning, frequent monitoring of progress, teacher training, and regular communication between all concerned. Add committed teachers, peer mentors/tutors, sensible allowances for individual students’ needs (extra test time, visual/oral format, concrete language, less or different homework, sensory issues, social skills training) as called for, and you have a recipe for success. You’ll find many helpful charts/resources in the Appendices.

| Look Me in the Eye is the moving, darkly funny story of growing up with Asperger’s at a time when the diagnosis simply didn’t exist. A born storyteller, Robison takes you inside the head of a boy whom teachers and other adults regarded as “defective," who could not avail himself of KISS’s endless supply of groupies, and who still has a peculiar aversion to using people’s given names (he calls his wife “Unit Two"). |
