Publisher's Synopsis
Many people, including educators, instructors, and therapists (unless specializing in special populations), tend to shy away from the topic of autism and those affected with autism. In addition to the unknowns of autism and its often-bewildering behavior, people don't know how to react. In The Kingdom of A.S.E (Autism Spectrum Enlightenment), author Gregory James Keyes shares a journey of discovery. He educates those who wish to learn about the domains of autism and discover a plethora of teaching methods, interpersonal communication skills, and a host of other enlightening facts and opportunities based on research and development. Keyes includes more than 150 web links, researched from more than 1,500 sources, offering education and information presented by specialists in the field and those on all three levels of the spectrum. The more than 500 pictures, graphs, and illustrations not only inform, but provide tools for parents, carers, educators, students, and researchers. It further presents domains that will not only maintain, but enhance, both the physical and cognitive condition of people on the autism spectrum and their carers. Based on research, education, and the personal experience of being autistic, Keyes delves into business and leadership skills, interpersonal communications dynamics, concept creation methodologies, exercise science, and more.
